The "lnz info" pages are a breakdown of all the items which can be put into your breedz' lnz, along with
|

information and syntax. The Oddballz-specific ones are still not yet written up, but if you browse through all

the ones for Petz you should get a clear idea of what each part does.

What I'm going to try and do here is to explain to you all in more depth what all those mysterious parts of
|
||||
a .LNZ file are for, what they do, and how to change them. Once you understand it, you will be able to make
|
||||
a breedfile that's almost any shape and have it breed reasonably true, or a Babyz of any shape, or a weird
|
||||
and wonderful Oddballz breed...

The .LNZ file, or "Linez" file, is the core data that the game reads when it is making a pet from a
|
||||
breedfile or a baby from the main Resource dll file. You will also find .LNZ sections used for the simpler
|
||||
mice or grubz, also in or for a few toyz, such as the Auto-rolling Ball or milk bottle. These .LNZ files
|
||||
work the same way as the ones for Breedz and Babyz, but because they are associated with simpler behavours
|
||||
we are more limited in what we can do with them that will actually show up in the game.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p class="big">
|
||||
Clothing files have a .CLZ section which is very, very similar to .LNZ files. ball-covering clothes (shirts
|
||||
etc) make use of Paint Ballz, and hats etc make use of Add Ballz. If you want to insert a clothing style
|
||||
into a breedz or babyz .LNZ (for instance, to make the antlers permanent), be aware that you can't just
|
||||
copy/paste and change the ball numbers. You will also need to do a bit of fiddling -- for instance, there
|

are fewer columns in the .CLZ add ball sections than there are in the .LNZ ones.
|

|

|

It has come to my notice that many people don't find how the .LNZ file works and what the various
|

programmers' comments, mnemonics, keywords and Key Texts are, as blindingly obvious as I do; so I'm writing
|

more detailed notes here in hopes that it will help.

This is for people who want to know what the various sections of a pet file contain. The structure is very
|
||||
similar for a baby file. I'm just going to show this as links to a series of screengrabs, as I don't have time
|
||||
to do anything fancy with it. Pet and baby files are in fact saved-game files, so their internal information is
|
||||
changing all the time. However, the basic structure remains the same throughout, so we can do a fair bit of
|
||||
analytical work just looking at a pet or babyz in a hex editor. I'm not including any breakdown of Petz II .pet
|
||||
files, as they are very different.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<a href="img/petbreakdown_PetNameIDAndBreedfileSection.gif">Here is the start of a typical Pet adopted in
|
||||
Petz 3, 4 or 5.</a><br>
|
||||
In it you can see the pet ID up there in the first two bytes, before the name Rosie. This is the section
|
||||
containing the petname, ID and main breedfile name. In a pet which has been imported from PetzII there is a
|

bunch of other stuff in there too, but it's not really important.

stores the pet's default colours here. It's the reason why, when you change certain ball colours in the .lnz
|

section, you have to say "restore original colours" within the game before you see them. It's also why babyz'
|
||||
hexed eyelids don't show up as altered; there is no "restore" in babyz because there's no paint pot. But of

course you can edit the relevant byte in this section, as I show in a "howto" elsewhere.

These are pages of information which Ron Tigat had up at his Odd Planet site; while

that site is down, it seemed a shame for this information to be lost. These pages

are of interest to people who edit for Oddballz and like to know in-depth stuff.

Although Oddballz is not a Win32 game, the information is still useful for those of

us who edit for the Win32 Petz games.<br>

main page are a new "What to do if Petz won't start or crashes" FAQ and a similar one for Babyz, plus I've

updated my LNZPro tips. On the Petz-specific page I've put a howto on making non-hidden emoticon variations

in a breed, how to change and expand tails for dogz and catz, giving your petz' eyes or "irises" a texture

important parts are when it comes to cloning a corrupted pet. It really is rough -- a series of screengrabs

-- so if you don't understand anything about pet files it won't help. But it's a handy reference that I made

for myself ages ago and I'm sharing with you now. I'm also sharing with you a set of lists of Bodyarea
